New Criminal Code

If the interpretation of the new law given here is correct, the points elaborated on are a total farce. Criminal charges for those who criticize government officials gives those people immunity and they will continue with their corrupt practices.

Dear President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, if you sign this bill you are propelling Indonesia back to the stone age. Indonesia needs work for the people, education, eradication of corrupt cockroaches in every level, be it public or corporate, Indonesia needs a law that protects the public from criminals and criminal police practices and Indonesia does not need a House of Representatives as it is right now.

This Mr. President is what needs to be changed very urgently. You must be kidding about signing a bill which could make a husband kissing his wife goodbye at an airport a criminal suspect.

Indonesia, what's wrong with you...?
